Carpe Diem #110, Verdant (provided by Bjorn)

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Another month of Carpe Diem has gone by and now we are entering a new month with awesome prompts. This month we will share again on very different prompts and I have used prompt suggestions given by you, my dear Haijin, visitors and travelers. If you have suggestions for prompts? Please share them HERE and I will use them for the months coming. Or if it's a nice prompt I can use it in this month.

As you can see I have created a new logo for Carpe Diem, as I have done every month. The logo for this month is a wonderful picture of sprouting apple blossoms. Well ... February has started and our first prompt for Carpe Diem is Verdant provided by Bjorn Brudberg of Bjorn Brudbergs writings I first didn't understand the meaning of Verdant so I had to search for it and I found that Verdant is a kind of Green, but it's also 'blooming', 'inexperienced', 'rustic' and 'leafy'. So maybe with those synonyms I can write a few new haiku.
As you maybe know, English isn't my maiden language and sometimes I find it hard to write haiku in English, because of not understanding some words as e.g. Verdant the prompt for today.

the Plum is bloomingunexperienced as she iswill once share plumsunexperienced poettries to write his first haikuwords blooming in his mindwords blooming in his mindfinally he has managed the form young haiku master

What a joy to write haiku. Be welcome to share yours on 'verdant'.

This prompt will stay on 'till February 2nd 11.59 AM (CET) and I will post our new prompt, provided by YerPirate, 'staff, walking stick' later on today around 10.00 PM (CET)

Wow, my favorite word on my birthday. Thank you so much. I think I have used the word in many haiku before... I think you handled the word really well, and it has all the meanings of green. Thank you Kristjaan.

One of my favorite things is learning new words from other poets and English is my first language !! (and sadly, my only one) Your new logo is beautiful! Pirate's link isn't working. I can't let him know because my comments always seem to go into his spam.
